By Jelf ZOOr..

PASA DENA - T he 1983-84

school year at the Young Women's

Mus lim Association Special Education

Center in AI Bunyat, Jordan,

should be an outstanding experience

for the mentally hand icapped students

repor ted Dick Weber, who

works at the center on behalf of the

Ambassado r Foundat ion.

" For instance. some of the handicapped

are not famil iar with modern

electric appliances," Mr. Weber

said J une 3 during a visit here . " So

when they flip the switch on a power

machine like a drill press or shaper,

it will be an experience for them ."

"I used safety guard s and power

feeds and modified some machines

to make them safe. so the student s'

hands will be as far away from danger

as possible," Mr. Weber commented.

When Pastor General Herber t

W. Armstrong approved the Jordan

program last July II. Joseph locke.

principal of Imperial Schools here.

was named director. "The purpose

of the vocational program is to help

students acquire a skill at which

they can work." said Mr. Locke.

"Jordan has virtually no unemployment.

Mr. Barriga and hiswifevisited the

brethren in Portugal. Spain and the

Canary Islands. which belong to

Spain, April 20 to May 19. Mr. Barrigasaid:"The

instruct courses in physical educat

ion. music, hor tic ultu re and

other subjects and working with

the year." said Mr. Weber. who

added tha t Jordan's Princess Sarvath

regularly conducts meetings at

the center. Bunyat Center is one of

the princess' special projects.

" Rosalyn Carter. the former

First Lady of the United States. and

the Dutchess of Kent visited us this

year." said Mrs. Weber. " and Dick

gave them a tour through the vocational

area," The Bunyat Center is a

" pilot project of what's being done

in the field: '

Mr. locke remarked that. initially.

one official from Jordan was

apprehensive about the program,

but now is " 100 percent behind and

just overwhelmed about the work

Mr. Weber has done." said Mr.

Locke. _

Whe n the st udents arr ive in

August. their atti tude of giving and

serving will help immensely. said

Mr. Weber. "The biggest reason

1983-84 is going to be a success is

because of the presence of Ambassador

students living God's way ­

people notice th at and greatly

appreciate it." he added.

"In Jordan we miss our family.

church services and friends." said

Mr. Weber. " but working there has

been exciting and interesting ­

most of all. though. it's for God's

Work."
